(Guidelines were strictly followed when filming with children.)
I was happy to stay by your side for a little while, at least.
Forget all about your lousy mom...
and live with a smile on your face.
Did you leave again?
Leaving me behind like this. Again, by yourself...
If you were going to leave just like this,
why did you act like my mom?
Why?
What do you want me to do?
You just have to be this selfish, don't you?
Until the end.
You don't care about me.
(Dried Pollack Soup, Hangover Soup)
I'll move to a place where you don't know...
and live in hiding.
I'll move to a place where you can't find me...
and continue breathing.
(For lease)
(Tiffany Alterations)
I won't die, so don't worry about that.
Don't even think about me.
Just live your life.
I'm sorry.
My goodness.
Hey, Mom. Where did you put my sweater?
Is it in the washing machine?
I put all of your clean clothes in your room.
Oh, really?
Hey, Hong Dan. Where did you put my sweater?
Oh, my. Why are you asking me about your clothes?
You should ask your ex-wife to find it for you.
Why are you doing this again?
You nagged me all night long. Let's stop this now.
You didn't even repent on why you were nagged.
How dare you rebel against me?
Goodness, what a great example you're setting for your kid.
How could you be more immature than No Ah?
Dad, can't you do anything by yourself?
I do things well on my own.
No Ah, are you going to be like this too?
You should take my side.
See you later.
Grandma, let's get going.
Okay, let's go.
Oh, come on. What use is it to raise a son?
- My goodness. - See you, Mom.
See you later.
- Ms. Eom Hong Dan. - What?
Stop kidding around.
Give me my clothes that you hid.
What is this childish prank?
"Kidding around?"
What nonsense are you talking about?
Oh, my. I think I hear a fly buzzing around.
- Why is this... - Honey, come on.
Don't you dare call me "honey."
Just give me that woman's number.
What?
Who?
Your first love and ex-wife, Ms. Lee Soo Yeon.
Give me her number.
But why do you want Soo Yeon's number?
I'm going to meet her to get a good look at her face.
Come on. Give it.
I won't see her anymore.
I gave her a stern warning.
She said she wouldn't show up again.
She said she was going back to the US. For real.
So, this is how you're going to be.
Sure, okay.
I won't sit around and wait to get stabbed in the back.
But where... Hey.
My gosh!
Eom Hong Dan, Lee Soo Yeon.
I'm like a sailboat caught between a typhoon and a tsunami.
Why is my life always so stormy?
I'm running late.
You don't have to work in the kitchen in the morning.
Mom will take care of things.
Still, I should help her.
Why? Is something wrong?
My belly feels a little heavy.
Maybe it's because you were shocked by the accident.
But the doctor said everything seemed fine.
(Han Internal Medicine Clinic)
Yes?
Mother, what brings you here at this hour?
Is No Ah sick again?
No Ah went to daycare just fine.
I'm glad.
I was worried that he might be sick again.
Did you decide to ignore what I said?
I clearly told you not to come looking for No Ah.
But then, you went to daycare and took No Ah.
What are you trying to do?
Mother.
Because you're being so thoughtless,
Gong Boo and Hong Dan are constantly...
bickering with each other.
What if Gong Boo gets divorced again?
Will you take responsibility for that?
It's not like that...
If you're a mom, you should be more careful.
No Ah is adjusting well to his new family.
Why do you keep interfering and confusing him?
Mother.
No Ah is my son.
My son is about to be taken away from me.
How can I just let that happen?
Who says anyone is taking your kid?
You're the one who sent him to us.
Please stop confusing No Ah.
Just live your life.
Please, I'm begging you. Please!
Okay?
You don't look so good.
Did you not sleep well?
Please try not to talk about private matters from now on.
What private matters?
We can't even talk about stuff like this?
We're colleagues working on the same project.
There's nothing wrong with me asking how you're feeling.
I've given this a lot of thought,
but about that project...
I'd like to work on it alone.
What?
You should just go back to what you were working on.
I'll deal with my own project.
You want me to back off now?
For what reason?
I should refrain from doing things that might stress out my wife.
Work is important,
but so is doing my duty to my family.
You know just how critical this project is, don't you?
Heirmez accepted this deal because they thought highly of me.
You know that very well.
Thanks for your help.
But I'll do the rest on my own.
This is a surprise.
I wanted to do whatever I could for you.
That's because I truly want the best for you.
I know...
just how desperately you want it.
I know.
But...
I don't want to do anything that might be misconstrued anymore.
It's only natural for Gong Hee to be bothered by it.
How can you give up your dream because of something so petty?
I haven't given up.
I'll make this work on my own.
(Mother)
Yes, Mother. What's the occasion?
I'm not sure if I can call you about something like this.
You can tell me, Mother.
About the spa membership you gave me.
Can I still use that?
Of course. I'll make a reservation for you.
When do you want to go?
Is it possible to go today?
Well, it's usually hard to make a reservation there.
Then forget it.
I'm being silly.
I shouldn't have called you. You must be busy at work.
I just thought it was a waste to throw away...
the membership you got for me.
I'll make sure they can take you in today.
How does 4 p.m. sound?
Really? I'd appreciate that.
You sure have a kind heart, Ji Na.
I'll be there for the time slot after that.
Let's catch up.
That would be nice.
Okay, see you later.
Ever since Kang Myung Ja and I became in-laws,
I've been getting more wrinkles each day.
My precious skin.
I can't ruin it because of Kang Myung Ja.
I need some antiaging and anti-Kang Myung Ja treatment.
Is that so?
- Yes, ma'am. - That woman finally left town?
Yes, ma'am.
She has even put her shop up for lease.
She seems to have cleaned everything out and left.
That's good.
I'm relieved that she left before causing more trouble.
What if she had lingered near Dan Soo for longer...
and said something she shouldn't have?
Dan Soo.
I was just thinking about how much I missed you.
And there you are. Perfect timing.
That person...
I have to find her.
What are you talking about?
My mom.
I have to find her.
I thought you might know where she went.
Are you saying...
you're going to look for her because she's your mom?
She ran off because she felt guilty.
There's no need to find her.
I still have to tell her something.
And I couldn't even ask her what I wanted to know.
I must know why she had to leave me...
and if she really liked money so much.
How could she have abandoned me and Dad for money?
I didn't get any answers for my questions.
Like I said, ask no more.
I told you everything.
That's all there is to know about her.
I need to hear it from her in person.
Why on earth are you acting like this?
You're doing the same thing your father did.
When she ran off,
Hae Joon asked me the same thing.
Do you want me to tell you again what kind of person she is?
She grew up with a mother who ran a bar,
and her father was a con man. She's just a vulgar woman.
If you look at someone's parents,
you can tell who that person is too!
Is that...
her fault?
What?
Was it her fault that she was born to such lousy parents?
Dan Soo.
You should listen to me, all right?
Still to this day,
I deeply regret that I failed to stop Hae Joon back then.
I feel the regret in my bones.
As for Dad,
he died before he could find her.
But that won't be...
the case with me.
I'll follow her to the ends of the earth and find her.
You know how I am, right?
I must find her and hear it directly from her.
I came here, thinking you might know where she went.
I guess I wasted my time.
Dan Soo!
Oh, no. Ma'am.
Are you all right?
If Dan Soo finds out everything...
What if he reacts like Hae Joon did?
Then what should I do?
First, you need to calm down, ma'am.
Hurry up and track her down.
Locate her and send her to a place where Dan Soo can't find her.
Hurry!
Dan Soo!
Dan Soo...
(This is the last birthday gift you'll get from me.)
(Executive Director, Gu Dan Soo)
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
What about you? Have the wounds healed?
I'm totally fine.
Just be careful, all right?
You're the mighty Maeng Gong Hee, but you're pregnant now.
You shouldn't jump and run around like you used to.
I revised the proposal.
She left.
Who?
That person.
Ms. Audrey?
She left this letter...
and took off again.
I never asked her to come back into my life, but she did.
And she left again, leaving me all alone.
I never even had the chance to blame her.
Ms. Audrey left? But why?
I found out everything,
so I guess she couldn't take it?
She said she'd never show up before me again.
Isn't it such a comedy?
After all this time.
So, how do you feel?
What does your heart say?
At first, I thought I didn't care whether she left or not.
But I was wrong.
I want to find her...
and take it up with her.
I want to ask her, "You'll leave again, and that's it?"
This time,
I want to leave first, if anything.
I don't want to be left behind.
You should find her and bring her back.
I heard she wandered from place to place for years.
It must've been exhausting.
She had decided to settle down in our neighborhood,
and things were finally becoming stable for her.
If you hear from her,
do let me know.
My stomach has been upset...
since I lashed out at Soo Yeon earlier.
She seemed to be regretting her decision...
to leave her son like that.
I'm not surprised.
She must be deeply regretting it.
We used to be fond of each other,
but I drove a stake through her heart today.
I feel pathetic and miserable.
You had no other choice.
You had to step in for peace in the family.
What?
Where have you been?
What's that?
Oh, well...
This...
Give this to Gong Hee.
What is this? My goodness.
Isn't this carp extract?
Oh, my. I guess you got this made...
with the carp you caught yourself. Am I right?
I was sick of hearing you say you were going fishing.
But it produced some meaningful results, at last.
Hey, must you be so mean?
I was wondering what I should get for Gong Hee.
This is great.
I'm telling you.
No one loves their daughter more than my brother.
They say carp extract is the best for pregnant women.
Gong Hee has been looking pale, so I was worried.
Hey, tell Gong Hee to come over and pick this up.
And cook her a nice meal too.
You saw Ssang Sook giving me the evil eye when she left.
I bet she lashed out at Gong Hee for telling me on her.
If I have her over again,
she'll hate Gong Hee even more.
Well, then what should we do?
Oh, boy.
Here.
Mother.
What?
What is this?
Well, they're skincare products. Make sure you use them.
Don't make me look like an evil mother-in-law.
Tell your family about this.
Yes, I'll brag about this.
Thank you, Mother.
I needed these.
Who is it? Why are you just standing there?
What? Why is that girl here?
My gosh.
Hey.
Mother.
You left your phone at the spa.
Oh, no. Where was my head at?
My goodness.
I was going to call Min Gi first...
but figured he might be busy now.
Am I not welcome here?
Why would you say such a thing?
Of course, you're welcome here.
Come in and have a seat.
Thank you.
And here.
This is for me?
My, it's so beautiful.
This...
It's a purse.
I didn't want to come empty-handed.
It's a brand I've been keeping my eye on.
Don't you think it's perfect for you?
My gosh. How sweet of you.
I'm so flattered and grateful.
Oh, my. Look at this beautiful design.
Try it on, Mother.
My goodness. Can I really accept this gift?
What do you think? Does it suit me?
Yes. I know your taste very well, Mother.
Oh, my. Thank you so much.
This is bringing tears to my eyes.
You should have a cup of tea before you go.
Hey, why are you just standing there?
Go and bring out some fruit or something.
I can't believe she came to our house.
This is no big deal.
It's nothing. It's okay.
Thanks to you, I got a facial at the spa...
and got this beautiful gift too.
All my stress has melted away. Thanks.
With the new member in the family, there must be a lot to think about.
I don't want to say this in front of you,
but I'm incredibly tenderhearted and understanding, you know.
I put up with everything even when there's something I dislike,
and I'm nice to everyone.
But she thinks her in-laws are a complete joke.
She goes to her family and tells them everything.
Gong Hee's intentions are questionable at times.
My gosh. You felt that too?
Is she like that at work too?
The truth is,
there's a competition going on between Min Gi and Mr. Gu now.
Between Min Gi and Gu Dan Soo?
That's right. The chairwoman will use it to choose her successor,
so it's very important, Mother.
Okay, and?
I was helping Min Gi with his project.
I want Min Gi to do well, you know.
Ji Na, you're incredibly kind. Thank you.
But I think Gong Hee was bothered by it.
It looked like she was getting jealous,
so I couldn't really be proactive about helping Min Gi.
But for Min Gi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
What? What do you mean she was getting jealous?
She is helping Mr. Gu Dan Soo on his project.
What? She should be helping her husband at work if anything.
How could she get in his way?
Why on earth is she doing that?
I don't really get it.
Instead of helping her husband,
how could she help his rival?
I can't believe this.
This won't do.
Can't you at least act like you're happy to see me?
I am a guest.
How could you put it that way?
What do you mean?
You spoke as if I was getting in the way of Mr. Seo's work.
Isn't that true?
What did you say?
I wasn't stating false facts.
You're getting in the way of Seo Min Gi's future,
aren't you?
Ms. Kang,
I pity you now.
What?
You stay close to my husband...
and act like you're just trying to provoke me.
Now, you even come to my in-laws' home to bad-mouth me.
Why are you being so disgraceful?
"Disgraceful?"
Me?
Even when you nitpicked my every move at work,
I tried to understand, thinking that you might be upset.
But I can't let this go on any longer.
And what if you can't?
What do you think you can do?
I won't just let this happen.
How much longer must I tolerate you?
What is all this noise?
Oh, my. Ji Na, are you okay?
Why are you yelling at her?
Ji Na just came in here to help you with the fruit.
What...
It's okay, Mother.
Gong Hee must've felt uncomfortable with me around.
Gong Hee, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have talked about stuff from work.
Mother and I used to be very close, you see.
Still, I was doing it for Min Gi's sake.
I crossed the line, didn't I?
You work with Min Gi,
yet you never once talk about him first.
Are you that angry that Ji Na told me that one thing?
Mother.
I think I should be going now.
No, don't leave so soon.
You should stay for some tea.
I don't think this is the right time for me to be here.
Gong Hee, sorry about today.
I'll see you at work.
Gosh, Ji Na.
Don't leave like this.
Ji Na is leaving because you upset her.
She thought of me and even brought a present.
Why did you pick a fight with her?
No, I...
Should I just call Gong Hee out...
and give this to her?
I don't want to see Ssang Sook.
What if she scolds Gong Hee again...
for doing something for her behind her back?
My goodness.
Oh, my.
Hello.
Who...
Don't you remember me?
I work with Gong Hee. I'm her manager.
I came by that one time to have dumplings...
when we had to step out of the office together.
Oh, right.
But...
what brings you here?
I just had some business here.
Then you should head inside.
She even left the front door open.
Hey! Don't just stand there with your mouth shut.
Say something!
You're an expert at getting in my Min Gi's way.
He's working on something so important.
How could you interfere in his work...
when you should be helping him?
You think I don't know anything about working in an office, right?
You think I'm a joke, don't you?
I told you, Mother. I'm not trying to interfere...
That's called interfering.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for Min Gi.
If you're going to be like this, you should just quit your job.
Stay at home.
- Mother, I worked hard to... - Be quiet.
How dare you talk back to me?
Is that how your mother raised you?
If you're going to do this, just quit your job.
Stop getting in Min Gi's way.
Mom.
Oh, my. When did you...
(My Merry Marriage)
Why did you come without even calling ahead?
This is just bad manners, don't you think?
Actually, I've been looking around for her.
I want to find her and end things on my own terms,
whether I resent her or not.
I'll find her.
Why would you do that?
I didn't want you to get the wrong idea,
so I told Ms. Kang to take her hands off my project.
I never told you to do that.
I just wanted you to keep your boundaries clear.
That means the same thing!
